The founding of the Phoenix Band traces its origins to the ill-perceived foreign policy of the Empire of Renatus. In the aftermath of the [[War of the Two Emperors]], the [[Empire of Renatus]] sought to once more vassalize and incorporate the rebellious [[Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska]]. These actions by the [[Empire of Renatus|Imperial Crown]] did not bode well with much of the soldiery, who had warred with the Highlanders for countless years and advised the destruction of [[Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska|Haense]]. Thus, many disgruntled, like-minded Renatians banded together in defiance to Renatus's decision. Flocking to renowned war hero Donald Dabber, the veterans finally had a platform to stand upon and voice to speak their will. Donald Dabber and [[Owyn Alexander Renai|Owyn Alexander]] would part with the [[Empire of Renatus|Empire]] all together, severing ties with what they believed to be a betrayal of Renatian ideology and cowardice. Together, the two men formed the basis of what was the Phoenix Band, comprised of dissidents of the [[Holy Orenian Empire|8th Empire]] and resentful Renatian veterans. In honor of the legacy of Renatus, the band took upon the Renatian phoenix as their arms.
